AMG Review of Last Concert

Cub Koda
All Music Guide

This is an incredibly distorted board tape of a 1984 reunion concert of the original band, minus electric jug player Tommy Hall, missing in action at the time of this recording, and Stacy Sutherland, killed by his wife in a domestic dispute. Recorded at the Liberty Lunch in Austin, Texas, only true believers can wade through this murky audio mess. Although the band plays with passion and authority and Roky Erickson is in classic demented vocal form, this one is for completists only.
